À propos de cette écoute
"Cool, brilliantly demented K-horror—just the way I like it!" —Ed Park, author of Personal Days
A stunning, wildly original debut from a rising star of Korean literature—surreal, chilling fables that take on the patriarchy, capitalism, and the reign of big tech with absurdist humor and a (sometimes literal) bite.
From an author never before published in the United States, Cursed Bunny is unique and imaginative, blending horror, sci-fi, fairytales, and speculative fiction into stories that defy categorization. By turns thought-provoking and stomach-turning, here monsters take the shapes of furry woodland creatures and danger lurks in unexpected corners of everyday apartment buildings. But in this unforgettable collection, translated by the acclaimed Anton Hur, Chung’s absurd, haunting universe could be our own, illuminating the ills of contemporary society.
“The Head” follows a woman haunted by her own bodily waste. “The Embodiment” takes us into a dystopian gynecology office where a pregnant woman is told that she must find a father for her baby or face horrific consequences. Another story follows a young monster, forced into underground fight rings without knowing the force of his own power. The titular fable centers on a cursed lamp in the approachable shape of a rabbit, fit for a child’s bedroom but for its sinister capabilities.
No two stories are alike, and readers will be torn whether to race through them or savor Chung’s wit and frenetic energy on every page. Cursed Bunny is a book that screams to be read late into the night and passed on to the nearest set of hands the very next day.

Commentaires
“If you were the kind of child who was enthralled by Scary Stories to Read in the Dark, Bora Chung writes for you. Like the work of Carmen Maria Machado and Aoko Matsuda, Chung’s stories are so wonderfully, blisteringly strange and powerful that it's almost impossible to put Cursed Bunny down. In short, this collection may, in fact, be a cursed object in the best possible way.”—Kelly Link, bestselling author of Get in Trouble
“Disturbing, chilling, wrenching, and absolute genius. I wanted Chung to write a story about a reader getting a deep look inside her fantastic swirling mind. I had to take breaks and gulps of air before plunging back into each story. Magnetic, eerie, immensely important.”—Frances Cha, author of If I Had Your Face
“Like a family in a home, fantastic stories gather together in this book. The stories not only take their revenge, but also love you, and comfort you. You'll end up completely endeared to this fascinating collection!”—Kyung-sook Shin, New York Times bestselling author of Please Look After Mom and Violets

Bored to tears!
If you have a little bit of imagination, no short story in 'Cursed Rabbit' will surprise you. It doesn't bring anything different to the weird literature genre, because the author's style is unbearably bland. Don't spend your credit on this audiobook if you enjoy creative stories with good plot and enjoyable prose.
The narrator's voice was too monotonous, and the few emotions of the text were not conveyed well. Her attempts at character's voices pulled me out of the story more often than not.
I've never seen a book blurb exaggerate so ostensibly before. "Wildly imaginative", "unique", "unforgettable"... where?
Never reading anything from Bora Chung ever again.
